Well the bloody oil companys have won RD1

Add that to what your saving on fags and you'll be able to retire soon hahahahahahahaha

Just use the money you save by not smoking on fuel, :-) cold on a bike in winter..

Know how you feel, looks like I might be getting a job that means driving 200km a day to and from work, quite a change from riding my bicycle to my current workplace, takes about 1ominutes.

So if I am commuting I've done the sums and will keep the lux but buy a 2nd hand honda jazz.

Hiya Stefan

You'll be saving money until some bugger (i wont say it).Be careful mate,If you have two brown eyes use the third one to see if you have too...Take nothing for granted..Look in the mirrors constantly (i mean all the time)..Ride like everyone is an IDIOT on the road..

I did the above and still got run down..Sometimes like mine its for life..Not trying to scare you at all but its about awareness,and sometimes you may get into the comfortable zone after awhile..


Take care

Stefan,

You know it already but I'm gonna say it again....

Ride invisible!!

I have a VTX1300 as a weekend joy trip ride, and always try to ride as though I'm not there! You have to know what everyone else is doing before they do!

Good luck and stay safe mate!

Cheers

Hi Sefan

Great bike - I still have my original DT200L (1983) and you just can no longer by a bike that matches it in all areas for hard trail stuff.

I always felt that risk of injury was a bit high on bikes , but recently brought a new DRZ400E for dessert trip this year and it came with those road approved knobbies which aren't to bad.

But I work at the other end of a new 25km tollway which goes right past home , and I will give consideration to using the bike for regular 50km round trips if the new road improves the saftey aspect somewhat.
Might at least save rego costs over running my Patrol , but i think we might save more money by holding on to the cars a little longer espically as some of these hack 4wds may be considered for luxury car tax soon.
